I'm not at all sure that publishers have become more amenable. Specifically requesting (and fixing) errors seems to be something unique to SF Gateway. They do a good job, though, which is why I mentioned the matter.

Back to the GAP book at hand - is there anybody here who has a hardcopy of this book and can verify whether stations on a ship (helm station, data station, command station etc) is also capitalized "Station" in the hardcopy? It seems very weird to me to write "data Station" and "emergency (or combat) Stations" like this - lowercase in the first word and uppercase in the second. Right now I am assuming it is a search-replace error.

I don't have the book, but that would be very poor English. I'm sure it must be a lower-case "s".

Thank you! I suspected as much, and had in fact already gone through the file and made the changes.

Or at least look at the text after the replace before saving. And shouldn't 'class="normal" only be in the css anyway? No need to do the replace in the text.

Code:
<p class="normal">This is normal body text</p> p.normal { text-indent: 1.2em; text-align: justify; } So it is necessary to replace it in the text (if you want to change the class name), but it's definitely a rookie mistake to try and match & replace everyday "words" in the html attributes without taking into account the possibility of those everyday words occurring in the content. Need to refine the search to isolate the markup/attributes only. Last edited by DiapDealer; 06-28-2015 at 03:54 PM. |

Although I personally would consider <p class="normal"> a bit redundant...if it is a "normal" paragraph then just use the "normal" tag <p> and style that in your css "p {}"...no need to waste all those memory bits to say it is normal. Reserve classes for those things that are different than normal....

...and there is always the fact that the larger the file size, the more styling codes a device has to chunk through to properly render the text, the longer it takes... and the device tends to bog down. ...and it's just not good practice...it's like spaghetti programming...ewww ![]() |

In fairness, they may well have proof-read the book before making this change. One doesn't normally completely re-read a book after making a CSS change. It's human error.
